I've heard great things about MAC's Ruby Woo and Russian Red. But I'm not sure if there are any other options.
I want a true blue based red, I guess, since I'm definitely cool toned. Fair skin and blue eyes. I know a lot of ladies here use MAC, so any insight would be helpful. Thanks! |

It isn't MAC, but I actually LOVE L'Oreals "Target Red" lipstick. You can only buy it at Target...it comes in a red tube.

MAC Russian Red. WITHOUT A DOUBT. Best red lipstick ever. When I worked at MAC, if someone was looking for a red lipstick I would show them that one and they
ALWAYS bought it. I swear by it. I have never found a better red lipstick.
Here are two pictures: With gloss over it: 
Surprise surprise, it's a kissy face.

If it helps, you know Rose McGowan? She once said in an interview that she never leaves the house without MAC's Russian Red lipstick. That MIGHT help,
because she sometimes wears bright red lips.Gwen Stefani sometimes wears MAC Red, but I'm not a big fan of that one because it goes on as a pinkish red for
me. Seriously...Russian Red is AMAZING.

Thank You both! I went ahead and picked up the Target red because, well for $6 why not! I like it, but I'm not sure it's perfect.
I am definitetely going to invest in a mac version. Ashley, do you have Ruby Woo as well? I'm curious what the difference is. Because all the MUA reviews says that's better for cool tones and I'm definitely a cool. Thanks! |

I don't have Ruby Woo, but I want it. It's definitely a nice red, but it's much more dry than most lipsticks, because it's extremely matte. A
girl at my old counter wore it all the time, and it looked hot! My personal favorite is Russian Red, but Ruby Woo is nice too. It's just not QUITE as easy
to apply, since it's so dry.

I prefer MAC Ruby Woo over Russian Red because Russian Red turned fushia on my lips. It didn't look like blue-based red on me. If you have pigmented lips,
go for Ruby Woo.

Really? Russian Red looks really red on me, but MAC Red looks pinkish on my lips.

I need Russian Red. I'm such a sucker for red lipcolor. I don't even wear it that much; it just looks all bright in the tube and makes me happy.
